iSLEEPY-TIME TALES! [JIMMY ABBIT MORE CHAPTER XXXVI. Keeping a Dog. There was only one thing about her home that Mrs. Rabbit didn't like. Ever since she and Mr. Rabbit and their son. Jimmy, had moved into the old hollow tree they had had 1 ncie Isaac Bunny for a guest. He had slipped into the house just ahead nf them. And he had now been there a whole week. Mr. Rabbit had dripped hint after hint about his going. But Uncle Isaac Bunny didn't seem to know how to take a hint. Whenever Mr. Rab bit mentioned that it was a fine day for traveling, or that Uncle Isaac's 3b He started up in alarm, crying, "Whata that awful noise5 ' many relations up and down Pleasant Valley must be pining to see him, or something like that. Uncle Isaac al ways said he was reminded of a story, which he proceeded to tell. It was sure to be a long story. And by the time he reached the end of It the old rascal always dropped Into a doze. Even Jimmy Rabbit, as well as his father and mother, wished that Uncle Isaac Bunny would Heave. Uncle Isaac had eaten a red apple that be longed to him. And after that Jimmy Rabbit didn't dare leave a titbit of any sort where Uncle Isaac could find it. It was hard to hide things from him. When he wasn't sleeping, or eating, or telling long stories, he was sure to be nosing about in every corner and cranny to see what he could find. He had what he called faint spells.” which couldn’t be cured except by food. "It's not as if we were relatives of Uncle Isaac's” Mrs. Rabbit com plained to her husband. “I don't see why he doesn't go and stay with his own people.” “They won't have him any more," said Mr. Rabbit. "There’s his sister. Mrs. William Henry Bunny." Mrs. Rabbit reminded him. "She's always glad to take him into her home.” “Her husband objects." Mr. Rob bit expla'ned. "He threatened to keep j a dog it Uncle Isaac ever visits them ngain.” “My goodness:'' cried Mrs. Rabhit. "That would be terrible." The mere thought of anybody's keeping a dog upset her so that she dropped a pan upon the floor. Tho clatter awoke Uncle Isaac Bunny, who had been dozing in the most comfortable chair in the house. He started up in alarm, crying. "Wlmt's that awful noise?" "Mr. Rabbit was speaking about lieping a dog," Mrs. Rabbit started BRINGING UP FATHFR...

Uncle Isaac grabbed his hat and coat and stick. Then he whisked out of the door without even saying good afternoon. It waa the first time he had crossed the threshold since he entered the houee a week before. Mr. Rabbit sprang to the door and shut the bolt. "We'll be on the safe side.” he re marked. ”He may get over his fright.” And sure enough' it v&tn'l more than two minutes before somebody rattled the latch. And Uncle Isna'e voice cried, "I believe I’ll stay to din ner. after all.” Mr. Rabbit touched ap aw to his lips, which was a sign for eterybody In the house to keep quiet. lie and his wife and their son. Jimmy, looked at one another somewhat uneaally as the door trembled and shook. Uncle Isaac was trying his best to get In. He went away at last. The Rabbit family could hear him muttering to himself as he left. "There'll be one good meal In the house—nfter they get the dog,” said Uncle Isaac Bunny. "But It won't be the Rabbit family that will enjoy It.” “And he kept telling me what a good cook I was’.” cried Mrs. Rabbit an grily. "So you are!” Mr. Rabbit assured her as he patted her on the back, "There! There!" (Copyright, 1121 ) ' My Marriage Problems Adele Garrison’s New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife.** Why Did Dicky Heed Claire Foster and Not Madge? 1 felt my old distaste for Claire Fos ter sweeping over me at her jesting i eferences to Tom Chester's liking for me, and her own admiration for him. The allusions were In tho worst pos sible taste, I said to myself, and I '■ould not help adding them to the list of offences against the canons of good breeding which the girl had committed ever since arriving at tho Bliss apart ment. Had my recent estimate of her as a crude, metallic, rather un scrupulous modern piece of femi ninity been the correct one? Had her apparent remorse for her escapade, and her desire to atone, been merely cunnivig subterfuges to appease the wrath which she knew many women vould have directed against her? With a weary little sigh I dismissed the problem of Claire Foster's queer actions from my mind. I had too many other things to puzzle over. Her mention of Tom Chester had remind ed me that within a few days I must return home, and knew only too well what would be Dicky’s reaction when he found that the sick young soldier was being cared for at out home. Dr. Pettit's probable actions, also, were a source of worry. I must get in touch with Lillian at the first possible moment. A Silent Breakfast. As I finished the preparation of breakfast, and wheeled the wagon c ontaining the dishes Into the living room 1 perfected my plan for tho clay. As soon as possible after breakfast T would go out on a shopping tour to match the etched glass Claire Foster had broken. It appeared never to have occurred to her that she should have shouldered this task. Instead, sh: iiad asked indifferently how much I thought the thing cost, and proposed leaving the money for it In an en velope when we left. Rut first of all I would get into communication with Lillian. With a little feeling of panic I realized that I had been without news of my baby boy for 24 hours, since Lillian's wire warning me of Dr. Pettit's Journey with Its reassuring addenda that all were well. Breakfast was s comparatively silent affair. Dicky Is always glum until he has had his matutinal coffee. I found Claire Foster, slouchy. al most repellant, in her soiled negligee and her kid curlers, confined her re marks to coquettish little sallies, to which Dicky replied gallantly, In deed. but with a palpable effort “He Won't Go to the Studio. ’ "What are you girls going to do with yourselves today?" Dicky asked L. when we had finished. ' You'll have to entertain yourselves, for I’ve got to beat it to see to some things I've been neglecting." I couldn't help a quick, furitlve glance from his face to Claire Foater's to ace if upon either there was the consciousness of the recent dalliance which had caused Dicky to neglect his work, hut both faces were non chalantly clear, and I voiced the alarmed thought which had come to rne at Dicky’s announcement. "Surely you're not going to your studio." Dicky shot a savage glance at me. He knew, of course, that I had ft vision of Dr. Pettit hunting him, and I realized that he resented my hinting before Claire Foster that he would avoid the enraged physician. “Surely I am,” he rejoined trucu lently. Now, don't start one of your" Claire Foster Interrupted him by reaching over and putting a capable thumb and forefinger upon his left ear and clamping down piteously. "Dook here, angel cheeldl" she said. "This going to your studio happens to he my affair- Com* hither, prithee. I would have a speech with thee." He could not have released himself without hurting his ear or her. so he made a sorry host of rising with feigned gnyety, and accompanying her Into the hall. I could glean no word of the low colloquy which followed, but when it was ended. Dicky disap peared Into his own room, coming out a few minutes later dressed for the street. "I won't he back until dinner time,” he saiif. "We'll all go out somewhere. So long.” He went out of the door, and Claire Foster put her hands to her lips, In effectually concealing a yawn. “He won't go to the studio,” she said lazily. "He promised me he wouldn't. And I'm going to have the laziest, nicest time right here all day. ! So if you have any errands on your mind you'd better attend to them." “Thank you.” I said mechanically.
